    Valve cover/Cylinder head weirdness

    It's been a long time since I've been on here but I'm finally tearing into my truck once again, fueled by my newfound confidence (or stupidity, we'll find out which it is soon enough). And while the interior remodel is waiting for carpet to show up I've decided to defeat the valve cover leak...

    Suburban rear axle into C1500?

    Alrighty, if this has already been written up I apologize. I couldn’t find a thread with the info I was after anywhere else. I want to put 3.73 gears and an Eaton true trac posi into my ‘94 C1500 RCLB. I have read that a Suburban rear end will swap right over with the sway bar and better rear...

    Oil gone AWOL

    I just did an oil change not even 300 miles ago and I’m already down a quart. No smoking from the tail pipe and the #1 spark plug looks normal, dry, like it’s running fine, no fouling. Additionally, I have not seen any new oil spots underneath the vehicle. So either it’s leaking somewhere and...

    Leaf springs worn out?

    Are leaf springs a wear item? I’ve noticed my truck sags rather badly with any sort of load in it. My buddy has a ‘96 Sierra that I can stand on the bumper and it hardly moves, while mine sags like yo mama just stood on the bumper. Is this just how our trucks are sprung? Or is it time for new...

    3.08 to 3.42

    So after awhile of driving my truck and noticing it doesn’t quite have the “oomph” off the line I was expecting (it’s a 355 with heads cam and intake) I did some investigating and found that have 3.08 rear gears, which I thought was very odd considering that the truck originally had a 4.3 in it...

    Speaker upgrade suggestions

    Since I’ve bought this truck only one speaker works and it doesn’t work very well. And it’s very difficult to look cool when Van Halen is only blaring through one 26 year old speaker with no bass or any sort of clarity. I was thinking of just going with Kicker 4x6 all around cause they seem to...

    '94 C1500 headers?

    So the new 350 I'm putting into my '94 came with some Hedman long tube headers. The drivers side header fits just fine, the passenger side does NOT. Does anyone have header suggestions? How have y'all set up your exhausts with headers? The truck is a '94 reg cab long bed, 2wd with a pre 86 350...

    94 c1500 build

    This is not only my first gmt400, but my first ever vehicle of any sort. She's a '94 regular cab long bed 2wd. 4.3/4l60. When I first bought it: Barely got above 45mph on the way home because it ran so poorly. So the obligatory plugs and wires change was done, this didn't help any. So...

    350 swap questions

    Hello everyone. I am in the process of swapping out my 4.3 vortec for a 350, and being that this is the first time I've ever done this, I have a number of questions that I need answered. -Will I need specific motor mounts or will the v6 ones hold? (I know I'll need the mounting plates that...

    No start on a 4.3

    I just recently replaced the intake gaskets on my '94 c1500. Did everything that the all knowing interwebs commanded me to do, plugged everything back into everything else, changed oil and replaced the coolant. And now the darned thing won't start. The motor will spin no problem (battery is...

    Do I have a bad head gasket?

    My '94 4.3 has started blowing wispy white smoke from the tail pipe, it does have the "sweet" smell to it and it idles rough now. However, at one point it would lightly smoke and then go away and did this several times without any noticeable difference in engine performance, now it smokes...

    Transmission IBS on a 94 c1500

    Hello all, I recently bought a 1994 RCLB silverado 1500 that has acquired a rather frustrating habit of leaving nice big ATF puddles on the ground. The first time it did this, I was about a mile from home when the engine light let me know that it still worked (good to know). So I drove it back...
